Can't comment on stories, so I am putting stuff in here atm.
Demon Souls is a masterpiece. Good when games you love get popular, but also sullied by the masses at the same time.
Yes, you can summon people for fights or for the whole game...I've personally been a fan of helping folks, but I have to get through the game solo first (the way that Miyazaki intended them to be played). The whole point in Souls games are to feel isolated, alone, desperate. The atmosphere in Demons blows the other games, DS 1 is sorta close, out of the water. We need to start a petition to get a remake of Demons done. I don't care whom the developer is, so long as they get it right. Change nothing except the resolution, smooth things out, and give a smidge better controls. As a veteran and long time fan of the series (played Demons Souls in March 2010, plat'd in Nov 2013 because Pure Bladestone) this is a game that survives the test of time and I've never really had issue with the controls, though I can understand how people get frightened by them. It's a trial and error game that really is quite easy to master. Find a few weapons you like, then find weapons with elemental / magic damage. Screw ranged and magic users....if you aren't up in a boss face, solo, don't even bother talking to me about the game. (I say that with good humor, but FROM let the game be too easy for that style)
